9th Circuit Court of Appeals judge Stephen Reinhardt dies at 87
2018-03-30
GOOD. Appoint a Conservative.
[TheHill] Judge Stephen Reinhardt, a judge on the San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and a champion of liberal causes on the court, died Thursday at the age of 87.

A court spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that Reinhardt was at a dermatologist's office when he died unexpectedly Thursday afternoon.

Reinhardt, who was appointed by former President Jimmy Carter in 1980, served on one of the country's most notoriously liberal courts, issuing many prominent decisions during his tenure including a 2012 decision striking down California's ban on gay marriage.

#5  Whoever is appointed will make the third Trump appointee to the 9th Court of Appeals. It's a start.
